About SHDS
A research-grade Soil Health Diagnostic System developed by Laldinpuia, Research Scholar at Mizoram University, Dept. of Mathematics & Computer Science using Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process for MCDM.
Research Overview
The Soil Health Diagnostic System (SHDS) applies the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) as a Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) model for evaluating soil health. The system evaluates 8 critical soil health indicators using triangular fuzzy numbers derived from expert pairwise comparisons. The methodology produces a single composite Soil Health Index (SHI) that classifies soil into one of seven health categories ranging from Very Poor to Excellent.
The system has been validated with 53 soil samples collected from Phura Village, Siaha District, Mizoram, India. The test data spans all 7 health rating categories with scores ranging from 0.0602 to 0.9551, demonstrating the full diagnostic capability of the FAHP model.
